The "merge" command:
Usage: fossil merge ?OPTIONS? ?VERSION?
The argument VERSION is a version that should be merged into the current check-out. All changes from VERSION back to the nearest common ancestor are merged. Except, if either of the --cherrypick or --backout options are used only the changes associated with the single check-in VERSION are merged. The --backout option causes the changes associated with VERSION to be removed from the current check-out rather than added. When invoked with the name cherry-pick, this command works exactly like merge --cherrypick.
Files which are renamed in the merged-in branch will be renamed in the current check-out.
If the VERSION argument is omitted, then Fossil attempts to find a recent fork on the current branch to merge.
Options:
- --backout
- Do a reverse cherrypick merge against VERSION. In other words, back out the changes that were added by VERSION.
- --baseline BASELINE
- Use BASELINE as the "pivot" of the merge instead of the nearest common ancestor. This allows a sequence of changes in a branch to be merged without having to merge the entire branch.
- --binary GLOBPATTERN
- Treat files that match GLOBPATTERN as binary and do not try to merge parallel changes. This option overrides the "binary-glob" setting.
- --cherrypick
- Do a cherrypick merge VERSION into the current check-out. A cherrypick merge pulls in the changes of the single check-in VERSION, rather than all changes back to the nearest common ancestor.
